Experience Skopje from air !

Tandem flight on a sunny spring days over the capital city of Skopje is a great experience for everyone. Such day we had this previous weekend for the Easter Holidays, and spent it in air enjoying the best panoramic view of Skopje.Standard tandem flight from the Vodno Mount. take off point (1060m.a.s.l, or 800m height difference from the landing point) usually lasts app. 30 min with landing near the city park. But Vodno Mount. is an excellent take off point for XC flights (flying longer distances ) as well, due to winds blowing from north and the geographic position of the mountain.



 My passenger Sandra was a first-timer so we raised up only to 1500m.a.s.l. Nevertheless, from this height there's a view over the Millennium Cross, one of the most attractive locations for tourists. Looking south you can see the magnificent mountains of Karagjica and  Kitka on southeast. In the distance raises one of the most beautiful mountain peaks in Macedonia - Solunska Glava. Directing  3-4km towards west, we fly over the Matka Canyon which is listed in the top 10 canyons and gorges for walking and hiking trips. To cut the long story short, flying tandem from the Vodno mountain is a genuine exciting experience.
